Vanessa Feltz has revealed she feels sorry for embattled Ant McPartlin after suffering her own troubles in the CelebrityBig Brother house.

The wheels came off for Vanessa in the very first series when she flipped on Day 3 and started scrawling obscenities on the kitchen table in chalk -and totally ignoring Big Brother's demands to stop.

And having been through her lowest point in the full glare of the public eye, she admitted she has heaps of sympathy for Ant.

“I unravelled on Celebrity Big Brother, chalking on the table, sobbing in the Diary Room, pioneering behaviour subsequently adopted by 100 per cent of celebs venturing onto reality television," she told Radio Times .

"When so-called experts airily hold forth on Ant McPartlin’s 'brand' now being tainted, I feel huge dollops of empathy for the fellow. He is not a brand but a human being. He is troubled and trying to survive turbulent times.”

Ant is currently completing a second stint in rehab after being charged with drink driving following a three-car crash in west London.

He was due to appear in court on April 4, however the case at Wimbledon Magistrates' Court has now been adjourned for an undisclosed reason.

"An adjournment in this case has been agreed, therefore Ant McPartlin will not be appearing at Wimbledon Magistrates’ Court, on Wednesday 4th April 2018," an administration officer from the court confirmed to Metro.
